SEAL BEACH, CA., (Indiana’s NewsCenter)— Seal Beach police have identified the suspect in a salon shooting massacre that left eight people dead and one critically wounded.
Police say say 42-year-old Scott Evans Dekraai of Huntington Beach was arrested and booked on suspicion of murder.
Police say Dekraai was stopped by officers about a half-mile away from the shooting scene at Salon Meritage and surrendered without incident.
Friends of the salon owner said the Dekraai was the ex-husband of a stylist who worked there.
Shortly after Dekraai’s arrest, police arrived at a house on Melody Lane in nearby Huntington Beach.
They escorted two women to a white car and then roped off the house with crime scene tape.
Neighbors identified photos of the alleged shooter as their neighbor Scott. The house is registered to Scott Dekraai, and one of the licensed cosmetologists at the salon was Michelle Dekraai.
Kari Salveson of Los Alamitos, who attended a service for the victims at SeaCoast Grace Church in Seal Beach, said she had known Michelle Dekraai for several years and was aware that she and her ex-husband were involved in a bitter custody dispute over their son.
